They stopped right near the traffic light.
Evan turns to face Rose. When their eyes meet, he smiles lovingly at her before saying,
"I don't mind if you get fat…I love you not because of your looks or your body shape. But I love you for who you are. I will love you unconditionally as long as you stay beside me!"
Rose was mesmerized by Evan's sparkling-looking eyes. For the umpteenth time, she was immersed in his charm. And his sweet words made her heart flutter. She has always known Evan is a genius in studies and business. Rose never sees Evan as a genius at swaying women's hearts. But he does. She is entirely in a daze, looking at him.
The more she heard his sweet words, the more she started to feel worried about herself.
Was it too soon for her to fall for this man?
"My Dear Rose! You should blink now, or your eyes will sting…." Evan smiled as his girl stared at him without blinking.
Did this girl flatter with his words? He thought.
Rose turned her gaze in another direction. Gosh! This man could be dangerous to any woman. He could enchant her to the point where she forgot to blink. Is he a God?
"Let's go!" Evan slowly pulled Rose across the street.
Soon they arrive at the cinema.
But when they wanted to buy tickets, they were both confused about which movie to watch.
"What do you want to watch?" Evan glanced at Rose beside him.
Rose thought hard when she saw there were four movies currently showing. Three Romance movies and one zombie movie.
Rose was confused. She really hates zombie movies. But how could she suggest watching romance movies with Evan? They will definitely be awkward when the romance scene appears, right?
The only choice is zombie movies. Even though she didn't like it, this was better than romance.
She looked at Evan, who was still looking at her, "Evan, we better watch this zombie movie…."
"Wow! I wouldn't ever guess you like this kind of movie." Evan was surprised to know that. He thought Rose would choose a romance movie.
"Well, yeah...now you know." She lies while showing her neat beautiful teeth to convince Evan.
"We have the same hobby, Rose. I love zombie movies too…."
Rose gulps while scolding herself for lying to Evan.
Evan continued. "Alright! I will buy the ticket now. You wait for me here…."
Rose took a deep sigh when Evan went to buy their movie ticket. While waiting for Evan, she purchases some snacks for the movie.
At the same time, in the cinema corner, several pairs of eyes stared at Rose and Evan with shock-looking eyes.
"G-Guys, did you guys see what I saw?" One of the girls whispered to her friends.
"Yeah! Evan Collins movie date with Rose Wilson? What the hell is it?"
"OMG! What the hell is going on here? Isn't Rose Wilson Dustin Moses' girlfriend?"
"I know, right! That's why I can't believe what I see!"
"Hurry, take a picture of them. We should publish the pair's photo on our campus forum! This slut, Rose Wilson, must be taught a lesson. How can she cheat on Dustin Moses? And stole our prince Evan Collins..."
"I have! Should I post it now?"
"Yes!"
"Wait! Don't post using your ID. Use an anonymous user…or you will be in trouble if you are caught spreading Evan's photo. You know he is our professor's favorite student, right.."
"Hahaha, Of course, I know..."
The girls chatted as they watched Rose and Evan enter the studio hand in hand. And they capture all of that with videos and photos.
Meanwhile, in the cinema,
Evan made sure Rose was comfortably sitting before he sat down beside her. He saw that Rose was wearing only a short-sleeved shirt and a calf-high jeans skirt.
"You're wearing a thin shirt, Rose..." Evan took off his jacket and gave it to her. "Use this..."
Rose was stunned. She looked at Evan while receiving the black bomber jacket.
"Evan, how about you!? Are you getting cold without your jacket?" Rose was worried that Evan would feel cold because he was only wearing a white, short-sleeved shirt.
"If so, I will just hug you..." Evan smiled when he saw Rose glare at him. "Why do you look annoyed? You don't want me to hug you?
"I'm not annoyed, Evan. But we're in a public place. What if a college friend sees us?" Rose looked at Evan. She was surprised when she saw Evan's face turn gloomy. Realizing that her words made Evan sad, she held Evan's hand.
"I mean, I'm not used to showing romance in public, Evan. Please don't be angry?" Rose tilted her head slightly to see Evan's face more clearly.
"I thought you don't want others to know about our relationship, Rose. That's why I feel a little bit sad..." Evan feels relieved to hear Rose's words. He wanted his college friends to know that Rose was his lover.
Rose smiled shyly.
"Alright, let's focus on the movie… and if you're afraid, you can hide your face on my shoulder." Evan can tell from Rose's gesture that she doesn't like this zombie movie. She had been avoiding looking at the screen ever since. "And, next time, don't choose the movie you don't like, Rose." Evan continues his words.
Instantly Rose was stunned. How could he know?
Rose glances at Evan with her awkward smile as she gets caught not liking this kind of movie. She really hates Zombie movies. Seeing the walking undead with ghastly pale faces could make her dream about them. Now she regrets her decision.
"Evan, I thought I would close my eyes until this movie was over..." She grinned. "Would you mind if I closed my eyes for the entire movie?"
"Hahaha, just do it. Or do you want us to go out and change the movie?"
"No need. I know you like this kind of movie even though I know I'm a scaredy-cat… but I feel safe watching it with you. So let's just watch it. If that ugly zombie appears, I will just close my eyes and hold your hand tight." Said Rose jokingly.
But in her mind, Rose was thankful that the movie theater was dark, so Evan couldn't see that her cheeks were now flushed red; she imagined they probably would kiss if they watched romance movies.
